x-strees's Little Panic.

The New YORK stesk market does not an
pear to have fully the little
panic by which it was disturbed last week.
Buyers We're not plentiful yesterday, and
there was a disposition to let the stocks which
dropped SO suddenly last Friday alone.
There is considerable speculation as to the
cause of the panic, but no satisfactory ex-
plantation has been given. 1t seems to be
admitted that the sudden and extraordinary
drop in tho stocks in which Jay Gould is in
terested has a mystery of some sort con-
nected with it, but just what it is puzzles
Wall street. OF course there are plenty of
rumors which attribute it to Jay Gould.
One report is that Mr.. Gould wanted TO
prevent the contamination of the contract
which, it is understood, Messrs. Ives and
Staynor have with Robert Garrett for the
purchase of the Baltimore and Ohio prop
erty, and which, it seems, was to have been
completed on Saturday. 1t is alleged that
he hoped to accomplish that by calling in
all his loans and thus making it difficult to
raise large sum of money. 1t is certain
that money became suddenly very scarce,
and that it could be had only by paying a
very high rate of interest. Another report is
that Mr.. Gould was aiming to cripple Mr.
Garrett, and open way by which he could
get control of the Baltimore and Ohio Tele-
graph line. Still another rumor IS that
Gonld, Sage and Field, who held 10000
shares of Manhattan stock as partners, and
who had been supporting the stock, dissolved
their partnership last week, and it was feared
that a greater part of the block would be
thrown upon the market
Rumors are not accepted as facts, and it
may be that none of these respecting the
cause of Fridays panic is well founded. The
truth doubtless will soon be known, how
ever, and it may appear that neither Gould,
Sage nor Field is responsible for the
"break" in the market. The fact, however,
that panic occurred without any apparent
reason, and, that too, when everybody
was predicting an increase in prices
and period of unexampled
prosperity, justifies the conclusion that the
talk which emanates from Wall street does
not always show the real state of feeling
there. Often when it is said there that the
strongest confidence in the advance of
stocks exists, there is little or no confidence
whatever. There certainly was not a great
show of confidence ON Friday. The attempt
to back up the talk about higher prices was
exceedingly weak

New York's Rising Generation.

From the Pfttsbttrg Dispatch.
A lady had the bad luck to step on her dia-
mond bar pin and break the fastening. She
rang for a messenger, and sat down to write a
note that the boy could mail on his way to the
jeweler. AS she was directing the envelope the
boy entered.
Take that she said, extending the pin, and
never looking up, as she finished the superscrip-
tion intending to add ito the jewellers at the
corner and wait for it,"
But the small tough, not much higher than the
table, broke in before she could finish her SEN
tence, with How much do you want to get on
it."
The astonished lady looked at the little ruffiian
in amazement. How much do I want to get
on itf'' she repeated.
Yes; you wants me to pound it, don't yer?''
Pound it? Mercy, no. l just stepped on it
and have broken the pin"
THAT don't Spite the sparkle. Iguess yer kin
git twenty cases on it,
why, boy, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, come off! Der yer want me to hook it.
or don't yer? What's yer racket"
The lady called for help. She had heard that
the insane possessed unnatural strength, and
though this young cub didn't weight ninety she
couldn't tell what he might do if he was as crazy
as he talked. 1t was not until the servant acted
as interpreter that the hoodlum was made to
understand the brooch was to go to jeweer to
be repaired, instead of pawnbroker's shop;
but the boy explained that most all the ladies'
who sent such things by him was spouters,
and was raiSin' the wind on their supers and
sparkles.n

Two Giants Have a Bloody Fight.


AKRON. o., June ia shocking killing and a
sudden death were the occasion OF great excite
merit last night in Peninsula, village on the
Valley railway about twelve miles north of here.
For six weeks past w. b. Armfeld, u giant, 80
years old, standing feet inches, and weigh
ing go pounds, has been about the Peninsula
quarries. He was formerly in the Confederate
army. He has been a frcquenter of D. A. Gar
vey's saloon, and has been known as jovial
fellow, with the strange notion, when intoxicat-
ed, that he was detective. For some time
past Armfleld and Carney have had dispute
over Soc, which the saloon man claimed Arm
field owed him. Last night Armiield again
went into Garvey's saloon and the dispute was
renewed, when Armfied challenged Carney,
who is also perfect giant in strength, to come
out into the street and fight him. Carney de-
clined. Afterward the men met in a neighbor-
ing saloon, and the quarrel was renewed
Words led to blows, and Carney, Selling a
blacksmith's chise beat Armfield in shock
ing manner The first blow fell on Ar1nfeld' 8
right hand, which bears deep cut the shape OF
the chisel The back of his left hand also has
two chunks cut out of it.u The nose is terribly
cut, and frightful holesgaps open behind at
the lower point of the left ear, in which the
doctor stuck probe fully two inches, both
shells of the skull being penetrated by the blow;
Three of Armfield's ribs are broken, and he will
die. Carney was placed under arrest.

Remember.

Whate'er the future may unfold,
Whate'er the word Times pen may write,
Although we two should drift apart
And all our bright day end in night,
viii you remember?
You say that you will never change,
That you'll be ever true; and yet
We cannot see the journeys end,
And it is easier to forget
Than to remember.
o, when the cares of life press hard,
With heart and brain in need of rest,
Then shall lay my weary head
In peace upon your faithful breast?
Will you remember?
When wrinkles mar my once fair brow,
And when my dark hair fades to white,
Then will you love me just the same
AS when my youthful eyes were bright?
viii you remember?
The stars shine clearly DER us now,
The sky above is fair, serene.
But in the tempest and the storm
Can upon your strong arm leans
Will you remember?
All, shall we ever live to know
That time but strengthens love like oursl
In that bright land, the stars beyond,
Amid everlasting flowers
Shall we remember?

Baltimore's Example.

A Baltimore court yesterday sentenced a
lot of ballot-box manipulators to two
years imprisonment They acted as
judges and clerks of election at the city
election last April, and were subsequently
convicted of fraudulent practices in connec-
ton with that election. Their conviction
and sentence surprised their friends and
startled the small politicians of the city.
Doubtless there are others who ought to be
in Jail with them. Baltimore has long had
the reputation of being ruled by corrupt
politicians, and there ought to be general
rejoicing there that justice has at last over
taken some of them.
1t is probable that in all the large cities of
the country there are frauds of more or
less extensive character committed at every
election. There are reasons for thinking
that in Chicago and Cincinnati an honest
election has not been held for years. The
reports of fraudulent election practices there
would make good sized volume. The diff
Guilty of holding perfectly fair election in
either New York or Philadelphia is so great
that it is safe to assert that such an election
never occurs in either city.
In view OF TINS condtlon Oh aHalrS III Is
strange that such men as Senators Hoar and
Sherman, who seize upon every little local
squabble in the Southern States to sustain
their assertions that free ballot and fair
count cannot be had in the South, do not
turn their attention to the fraudulent election
practices in Northern cities. Why is it that
they do not, from their places in the Senate,
condemn their Republican friends in Phila-
delphia and Cincinnati for preventing free
ballot and fair countl The reason would
seem to be that their party is benefited by
the frauds.
No punishment is too severe for those
who tamper with the ballot box. When the
people get an idea that fair election can
not be had, they lose interest in elections,
and when they reach that condition of
mind there is great danger that inferior
and corrupt men will be chosen to make and
execute the laws. Let the example set by
Baltimore be followed in other localities
where attempts are made to defeat the will
of the people by fraud.

Senator sherman's Eyes opened.

From The Philadelphia Record lDenll
Senator Sherman sees that when it comes to
swinging the bloody-shirt there are several
lusty and long-winded demagogues who can
give him many days the start and beat him.
He therefore finds it convenient to change his
tack, and he now speaks with touching gener-
osity of 'our late gallant enemies" and of the
duty of lessening the animosities of the war. p"
Nothing but the friendly reunions Of veterans
who were once foes could have extorted this
language from a champion of the bloody-shirt.
